history
After Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz were merged into a common state of Mecklenburg in 1934 , the Schönberg district was formed from the Schönberg office and the Grevesmühlen district . The office of Schönberg was part of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and emerged from the former Principality of Ratzeburg . The Grevesmühlen district was formed in Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1933 from the Grevesmühlen office. On April 1, 1935, the previously independent city of Schönberg also joined the district.
Through the Greater Hamburg Law , the district ceded its exclaves Domhof Ratzeburg , Hammer , Horst , Mannhagen , Panten and Walksfelde to the Duchy of Lauenburg in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein on April 1, 1937 . At the same time, the district received the communities of Utecht and Schattin, which had previously belonged to Lübeck . In 1939 the name of the district was changed to the district of Schönberg .
After the Second World War , the district initially belonged to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (from 1947 Mecklenburg ) in the Soviet zone of occupation . As part of the Barber-Lyashchenko Agreement , the district ceded the municipalities of Bäk , Mechow , Römnitz and Ziethen to the Duchy of Lauenburg in the British Zone on November 26, 1945 . In return, the Lauenburg communities of Dechow and Thurow moved to the Schönberg district.
In 1949 the district seat was relocated from Schönberg to Grevesmühlen and in 1950 the district was renamed the district of Grevesmühlen . During the territorial reform of 1952 , a new district structure was created:
- The three communities Bobitz , Gressow and Groß Krankow from the northeast of the district came to the district of Wismar-Land .
- The southern part of the district with the town of Rehna and the communities of Brützkow, Bülow, Carlow , Dechow , Demern, Groß Molzahn , Groß Rünz, Hindenberg, Klein Rünz, Neschow, Nesow , Pogez, Rieps , Schlagsdorf , Stove, Thandorf , Utecht and Wedendorf came to the district of Gadebusch .
- The core area of the district continued as the district of Grevesmühlen .
- The Grevesmühlen and Wismar-Land districts were assigned to the Rostock district and the Gadebusch district to the Schwerin district .
